You'll want to get all the spatter out of the diff before you seal it back up!!!!! those little bb's can't be good for your gears:rolleyes: Glenn 82 SubaruHummer welded! 01 Forester LSD!

I hate the #$% things but now I know why! Thanks, Glenn 82 SubaruHummer never had an air thingy in it. 01 Forester never going to...

Welcome to the Board! If you don't like the way they are wired...........Change it! A switch and some wire should take care of that little problem. Glenn, 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

I have a grind if I shift too fast from first to second and it will pop out of second if I lug it too much? I'm sure it's a syncro prob too... Tell me about this red line stuff? I have never heard of it? Links? Thanks, Glenn

What, No Forester? I can't believe it. Glenn, 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

Welcome! With "turbo and super" charging mentioned, I'm wondering what you have planned for this Subaru? Sounds like your looking to set it up for "street" as opposed to "off-road"? Tell us what you have in mind? (Your uploaded pic was blank for me) Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

The Police have informed me....... I can't even stay in the "Streel Legal Class":lol: LOL, Glenn 82 Hatch? 01 Forester!

Throw away your body and get the weight down to #1500:D The Buggy is suppose to weigh in at #1275 but I added a few things........ I'm headed to the scales this weekend and that's what I'm guessing anyway. Glenn 82 SubaruHummer, feather weight division 01 Forester, factory weight division

The info I says you have a 14.5 tank on the 1983 GL 4X4. Could the fuel pickup in the tank be higher that the lowest point, thus leaving 3 gallons in the bottom of the tank? ?????The 1983 Hatch has an 11.9 tank????? I'd doubt you have a Hatch tank on your wagon? I'd think you'd be able to see the mounts for the larger tank. (I just checked, It's on the back like everyone else said) For what it's worth, Glenn

I didn't think you could use the words "cool" and "Justy" in the same thread?

David, Welcome to the Board! It may be hard to believe, but you have come to the right place. There is a wealth of experience and information here. I think a lift is a morale imperative if you possess an older Subaru! There are tons of threads on lifts and questions about lifts. I'd bet someone has already asked the same questions that you have and found answers to problems that you'll face...... Try the search thing.........Bet you'll get a great start! Q. What Do you own? Q. What are your plans/ideas for this Subie? Glenn, 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

(can you tell I was a generator mechanic in the Army? hehe) I have two old troopers and love em! But I had no idea they were linked to Subaru? (accept they both had head gasket problems:lol: ) It now makes some sense, The Isuzu 6cyl was the chevy S-10, Chevy is now a part of Subaru. Wow It's all one big auto firm Sorry about hijacking my post.

So it's a 3 cyl with a snowmobile tranny? This sounds like Monster Garage material! "Subaru-Isuzu Automotive Inc. (SIA), a joint venture with Isuzu Motors Ltd., established in the United States" Is Subaru still in bed with Isuzu?

After reading the Justy post earlier this week, I got to wondering, Has anyone Off-roaded a Justy:confused: Do they have Dual Range Trannys? Do they lend themselves to "GL-DL" off-roading/modifications? I know someone in the NW was looking to put ATV tires on one but I don't know who or if they ever did? Comments, THoughts?

Yet one more vote for an "older section".

What I was getting at was, I don't believe the 4speed ever came with a 3.7 ratio so if you had 4 gears, it would be a 3.9. Then you would only have to know what the rear diff was to figure out if you had a 3.7 - 3.9 problem. That's all Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

It would be a problem! How many gears do you have?

I had an intermittent short on my pump years ago. Dealer attached a light to it to see if it was getting power and then let it run till it quit. I recently replaced my fuel pump again--not knowing it was my Fuel Pump Control Unit acting up. The new pump may be a Purolator, I'd have to check. Is your FPCU behaving as it should? Are you getting power? Good luck, Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

Welcome to the Board!:cool: Plenty of opinions here! I'd investigate the head gasket issues before finalizing a buying decision. I have an 82 and an 01 and love them! Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

Score! Congrats! What are you going to do about the underside?

.................................

Got a 2001 a little over a year ago and I love it! Great on snow and dirt roads, it feels stable and predictable. It has plenty of power as long as the A/C is OFF! I have replaced a radiator by-pass hose and had the engine coolant recall work done but that is it! The reason I purchased another Subaru is because my 82 has been flawless for the last 22 years. I feel comfortable in the car in adverse weather conditions! Glenn, 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

I think with the current immigration laws, you can register it as a US citizen now!

Wait a minute, only two? Seems like you could fit a few more in there if you parked em differently:brow: I was looking at a Subie just like your white one! Same year, color, model but it got sold before we could buy it. Looking good! Glenn 82 SubaruHummer, was very close to being a GL Hatch 01 Forester, was very close to being a White 2001 Legacy L

Those are the best pics I've ever seen! I'm sorry, I shouldn't be laughing at that!.......but it's funny to see a Subie out to sea! They use to float VW's around, why not Subies? Humm......... this gives me an Idea? Still laughing! Glenn, 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester
